Notes

As per the Treaty of Troyes, Henry was king of both England and
France, but both kingdoms were ruled by a protector during his
youth. The French crown was lost when the heroic Joan of Arc
appeard and rescued the French dauphin who was crowned Charles
VII. The Hundred Years' War finally concluded in 1453 after
several losses to French forces at Brittany, Normandy, and
Gascony. Henry was left only with Calais and England.

In 1453, also, Henry fell insane due to a hereditary disease of
the Valois family. Richard, Duke of York, became protector of
the kingdom during Henry's illness, but Henry's wife alienated
him upon her husband's recovery. Beginning in full the War of
the Roses, Richard attacked and defeated Queen Margaret at St.
Albans in 1455. Henry was captured by Richard in 1460 and forced
to name Richard as heir to the throne. After escaping, Henry
attacked at Towton and was defeated.

Edward IV, son of Richard of York, was crowned king and Henry
and Margaret were exiled to Scotland. In 1465 the two were
captured and held in the Tower of London until 1470 when Henry
was briefly restored to the throne. Henry's son Edward was
killed at Tewkesbury in 1471 by Edward IV. Henry was captured
and returned to the tower where he, the last of the
Lancastrians, was killed the next day.
